Pros & Cons

Pros

It works great for all my construction and crafting projects. The only limitation is that makita only supplies belts up to 240 grit.

The negative reviews seem to come from the folks who probably jumped on a cheaper price offered by japanese-labelled outfits - disregard them. Most vendors charge between $225 and $275 for this; but if you go to large flea markets and garage sales, yo... Read More

Price

The price made me flinch a bit.

Especially if you work with fiberglass boats, the ability to quickly sand an inside radius or feather surfaces quickly and clea... Read More
